Five years later, a rescue party, sponsored by Jeffrey’s identical twin brother Lucas, finds Victoria and Lily in the cabin, alive but in a feral state after years of isolation.

The girls are initially hostile to Lucas, but Victoria recognizes him after he gives her a pair of glasses and she can see properly.
